There's a reason they call them "safeties". The role of the LB in the Cover 2 is to cover lanes and gaps as your linemen get upfield. It requires patience and discipline, something that isn't DJs strength. DJ has an uncanny nose for the ball.

I can't believe people are so eager to slam square pegs in round holes.

I just want DJ near the ball. He's a ball hawk

So can he be a stud MLB in a 4-3? Can Houston be an OLB in a 4-3? Set Houston over Hali on the left side, DJ in the middle. Poe pit and Dorsey or powe the rest of he line and we need another OLB for 4-3?

We're not going to get that. As I've said before, we have a head coach who's been trying to re-invent a defense that was the product of a brilliant defensive coordinator with a scheme nobody's really been able to replicate. I don't like the idea of speculation about the DC coming out before we hire the GM. I want this decision to be largely driven by the GM.
